10 <p> Sup is a console-based email client that combines the best
11 features of GMail, mutt, and emacs. Sup matches the power of GMail
12 with the speed and simplicity of a console interface.
15 <p> Sup makes it easy to:
19 <li> Handle massive amounts of email. </li>
21 <li> Mix email from different sources: mbox files (even across
22 different machines), IMAP folders, POP accounts, and GMail
25 <li> Instantaneously search over your entire email collection. Search
26 over body text, or use a query language to combine search
27 predicates in any way. </li>
29 <li> Handle multiple accounts. Replying to email sent to a particular
30 account will use the correct SMTP server, signature, and from
33 <li> Add custom code to handle certain types of messages or to handle
34 certain types of text within messages. </li>
36 <li> Organize email with user-defined labels, automatically track
37 recent contacts, and much more! </li> </ul> </p>
39 <p> The goal of Sup is to become the email client of choice for nerds

59 <p> The current version of Sup is 0.0.5, released January 5th, 2007.
60 This is a beta release. It is unix-centric and has no i18n
61 support. It supports only mbox, mbox+ssh, and IMAP, not POP or
62 GMail. I plan to fix all of these problems. </p>
64 <p> Other than those limitations, it works great! I use it for my
